"Thank you, Lynn and Larry! Yes, there must be some other reason the Högsby church photo was in with their pictures. I was relaying all this information to my mother, who said she thought that Karin was from Skåne.....so that leaves it…"

"I should correct that. It reads, "Gustaf Adolf Hultqvist: Myresjö Klockaregård, född den 8 Mars 1863. På Confirmationsdagen: Myresjö d. 13 April 1879." So, I guess that means that the name was Hultqvist in…"

"I don't know if there is a Family History Center near me. Not that I know of. I will google it and find out. On his marriage record, Frank Nelson listed his father as Holgret Nelson, and his mother as Matilda Swanson. Does that make any sense?"

I see you are interested in the Johansson family.  My maternal grandfather was a Johansson, but he changed his name to Bergstrom when he came to the US from Sweden.  He figured there were too many Johanssons here.  The rest of his family kept the name.
